and you will also notice that whiteness is a label that is thrown at anyone who follows a successful American lifestyle. it doesn't matter if they are white, black, asian, hispanic, or anything else. if they are free, and are prospering under freedom, they are exhibiting "whiteness".
even though they code it along racial lines, the actual lines are between citizens and new immigrants.
Asian is too broad of a term. East Asians generally do well and are treated as White adjacent. Indonesians struggle to meet those expectations and are "oppressed" minorities.
you miss the point. to them, Indonesians who are successful in a free society are no longer Indonesian, because they exhibit too much "whiteness". same with every other race.
